President C. E. SIIITH, ,QS Secretary-Treasurer The past few months have been most notable ones in the history of the Alumni Association. Members all over the country, becoming keenly alive to the needs of Alma Mater have set on foot movements which will be not only of lasting benefit to the College-but which are today extremely beneficial in drawing the grads into close union. Iluring the annual meeting of the association last commencement time, R. H. Crozier by a characteristic telegram gave impetus to an endow- ment fund campaign which has now reached gratifying proportions and in the interests of which hundreds of letters and circulars have been sent out. The annual meeting was attended by about seventy-five Alumni and after the business of the evening had been disposed of, President Dodge called on L. N. Rossiter, VQS, D. S. Wentworth, ex-99, Mrs. 1.1. Halsey, '83, A. U. jackson, '96 and Irene Robinson, '04, for toasts. 22

Among the features already announced may be mentioned a ball game between two teams of 'gold ones, a dollar banquet- no more! -and a special decennial blow-out by the Class of 1895.

The Club keeps closely in touch with college affairs and has developed a number of schemes which will add to the effectiveness of the institution. Dr. Harlan and Professor Bridgman have met frequently with the club so that through them and Dr. Linnell of the Trustees, the administration has been brought into near relation with the Chicago contingent. The Annual ULadies Night banquet was largely attended this year, and owing to the untiring efforts of the committee consisting of Messrs. Wentworth, Warren, D. H. lack- son and Curtis, was a pronounced success. The New York Club This latest addition to the list of Lake Forest Alumni organizations has proved itself during its brief existence, by no means the least. From an attendance of twenty-seven in IQO4 the numbers rose this year to fifty-four. The banquet was held in the Hotel Astor on January 3d. So anxious were the New Yorkers to have plenty of 'ilocal color that not only Dr. Harlan but also Prof. and Mrs. Halsey and Prof. Bridgman 23
